In the early morning hours of June 2, 2015, Sha’quan Johnson, a 20-year-old Black man, was shot multiple times in the 7900 block of Inglenook Place in Pittsburgh’s Homewood neighborhood. Police found him with gunshot wounds to his torso and leg just after 1 a.m.; he was taken to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital, underwent surgery and later died of his injuries. A car was also struck by gunfire in the incident, but no one else was reported injured.

Detectives say the attack did not appear random. Johnson had been inside a house with other people and was reportedly called or summoned to the front steps, where an assailant ambushed him as he emerged. Investigators have not publicly identified a motive, and no arrests were reported in the years after the shooting. His family, who remember him as a Westinghouse High School graduate and standout basketball player, have urged anyone with information to come forward to help bring closure.

Does anyone in Homewood remember that night or have information about what led to Sha’quan’s shooting?
